If you liked the first part, this will be great for you! Climate often has an affect on Productivity. When you think of Boston one of the first things that comes to many peoples minds is colleges*. When we think of Los Angeles we think of Hollywood and beaches*. *(I took a poll with people)* So Boston is in New England and L.A. is in the more sub-tropical part of America. San Francisco is often said to have the most perfect climate in America. And it is also known for homosexuals and rich people. People go there to Hawaii to relax, not to work. In Germany(colder climate) they have had many innovative advances such as automobiles and other things in industry and trade and military. Whilst can you name more than three things great to have come out of Spain(more desirable climate) that are still relevant in today's society? The most advanced place in America is New England, that is where all the work gets done.
Why does Climate have an effect on productivity? One good reason brought to my attention was agriculture. In places with a better climate, such as sub-tropical areas like California, you can throw a seed in the soil, anytime in the year and it will grow with minimal care. In the Northwest and New England you need to care and tend for your crops more, and you need to plan exactly when to plant and harvest your crops. or they will not grow to sufficient sizes or will freeze. Another possible reason is that the places with more desirable climates have people that are more attracted to things of material pleasure for one's self. While in working environments the focus is not necessarily on one's self rather it is on society or community as a whole. We all can assume that a full baseball team is more affective than a team of one.
Another interesting side-note is that many of the World's Superpowers are in the Northern Hemisphere and have cooler climates. USA, Russia, Germany, China, UK, Japan.
